THE SIXTEENTH DISTRICT.
The Nominating Convention TO he
Held In Manchester.

A meeting OF the Manchester City
Democratic Committee was held last
night in the Mayor's-Court room OF
that city. There were present Messrs.
George W. Meredith (chairman), A. j.
Gallagher, b. A. Faulconer, Il. a.
Cobb, Il. a. Baugh. John w. Cordle,
and i. a. Gary. In the absence Of
Mr. Robinson, the secretary, Mr.. Sam
uel +. Gililand acted in that capacity.
On motion of Mr.. Gallagher. it was
Rcsolrcd, That a committee OF one
he appointed to confer with the Electo-
raj Board, to get a new registration for
each ward of the city, as the regular
books are in bad condition.
Chairman Meredith was chosen as
this committee.
Mr.. Gallagher said he would not
vet make such motion, but suggested
that it will be well just before registra-
ton to senda postal to each Democratic
voter. He thought this would work
more efiectually than canyassing, as
heretofore, and in this opinion several
members concurred.
Chairman Meredith, for the informa-
ton of the committee. made a state
mcnt concerning TIE senatorial and
legislative conventions to be held this
summertime former to nominate a
candidate for the Senate from the dis
trict composed OF the counties of
Goochland, Powhatan, and Chester
field and the CITY of Manchester {;
the latter TO nominate two mem
bers of the House from the
district composed of Manchester, Ches-
terfeld. and Powhatan. Mr.. Meredith
said that he had seen MIR. Robertson,
county chairman of Chesterfield, yes
terday afternoon that he (Robertson)
had received q letter from Chairman
Miller, Of Goochland, saying that he
would prefer that the convention be
held at Maiden's Adventure, and II not
there, in Manchester.
Mr.. Robertson wanted to know If a
suitable hall could be obtained in Man
chester, and was informed that there
could. Mr.. Meredith said be went
further and said that Manchester
both wanted and was entitled to the
convention, and he offered to undertake
TO furnish the delegates with dinner.
Mr.. Robertson considered this liberal
offer and said he was in favor OF Man
chester. With Goochland, Manches
ter, and Chesterfield in favor, it will
be useless for Powhatan to kick. The
time for holding the convention will be
fixed hereafter, as will the basis OF
representation. 1t is thought, however,
that there will be about forty-tige dele
gaies-one for every hundred Demo
cIatic votes or fraction over fifty. Thl-
correspondence was with relltion t.
the scnat orial convention alone ; but il
Is quite certain that both will be held
the same day, at the same place, an,
| that in most instances the same dele
gates will go to both.
This will be the first Democratic con
vcution ever held in Manchester.
